Why do sports massage therapists need insurance?

Sports massage insurance is important to protect sports massage therapists against expensive liability claims made on behalf of their client/s resulting from an injury from the treatment provided. Participation in sports massage carries a certain risk, meaning that sports massage therapists need to ensure they have the right insurance in the event of a claim. Sports massage insurance is available to qualified sports massage therapists and also students working towards gaining a sports massage qualification.

Why is sports massage insurance important?

Sports massage insurance acts as a legal safety net to minimise financial liability, should you be the subject of a claim – e.g., if a client suffers an injury, he or she may claim against you for compensation and/or medical costs.

Having insurance means that the financial liability of meeting these costs should be met by your insurance.

Sports massage therapists are often called upon to give advice to their clients. Insurance is important to protect you against any ill-effects suffered by the client as a result of your advice.

Participation in sports massage carries a certain risk, meaning that sports massage professionals need to have insurance in the event of a claim. Insufficient or complete lack of insurance could result in expensive liability claims made against you.

What are the benefits of sports massage insurance?
